FRANKIE DETTORI hailed Inspiral a “true champion” after she battled to Group 1 glory in Deauville. The Italian steered the three-year-old filly to beat the boys in the Jacques Le Marois for his gaffer John Gosden. The Cheveley Park homebred was sent off a 7-4 shot and kept David Simcock’s Light Infantry at bay in the dying strides by a neck. She proved her Falmouth Stakes flop, when stuffed at 1-7, was just a bad day at the office as hot favourite and 2000 Guineas winner Coroebus was stuffed back in fifth. Dettori, 51, said: “We were scratching our heads after Newmarket, after her fantastic performance in the Coronation at Royal Ascot. “She was taking on a Guineas winner and proper horses here. She showed today that she’s a true champion. She's back!

F rench President Emmanuel Macron has accused Russia of using energy as a “weapon of war” as the chief executive of oil and gas giant Shell warned gas rationing in Europe this winter was possible. Mr Macron yesterday told citizens to "prepare for a scenario where we have to manage completely without Russian gas." "The summer, early autumn will be very hard," he said. "Russia is using energy, like it is using food, as a weapon of war." He said the government would prepare a "sobriety plan" to conserve energy, which would start with turning off public lights at night when they aren't useful. "We need a general mobilisation," Mr Macron said in a televised address for Bastille Day. Ben van Beurden, chief executive of Shell, echoed the French president’s remarks, saying Russia had shown it is “able and willing to weaponise energy supplies.” Mr van Beurden said Moscow had “surprised” the market and told governments to be prepared for the Kremlin to restrict gas further. “For a … [Read more...] about Macron says Putin using gas as ‘weapon of war’ amid rationing fears

On any given night in Kiev, you can pass the time in one of the city’s popular new watering holes, descend into the basement of the old cinema to enter a Brooklyn-style speakeasy, or sip a $10 cocktail on the rooftop of a trendy music hall, where every piece of furniture in the bar appears to be up for sale. There’s an imitation Nobu , and a smattering of restaurants with names like “Reef” and “Simple” that cater to the international moneyed class. At these establishments, you’ll overhear patrons speaking in fluent English—usually Americans or Brits, likely part of the small army of Western consultants and grant-makers that have descended upon Ukraine since 2014’s Maidan Revolution and the subsequent Russian invasion. As these European spaces have sprung up, Ukraine’s old Russian place names have begun to disappear, swept away by the surge of nationalism that accompanied the events of 2014, which also paved the way for a concerted decommunization campaign to rid the nation of its … [Read more...] about Ukraine’s Long-Smoldering War for Independence

Tehran — Iran on Monday denied any link with the attacker of British author Salman Rushdie but blamed the writer himself for "insulting" Islam in the novel "The Satanic Verses." "We categorically deny" any link with the attack and "no one has the right to accuse the Islamic Republic of Iran," said foreign ministry spokesman Nasser Kanani in Tehran's first official reaction to Friday's stabbing. "In this attack, we do not consider anyone other than Salman Rushdie and his supporters worthy of blame and even condemnation," he said at his weekly press conference in Tehran. "By insulting the sacred matters of Islam and crossing the red lines of more than 1.5 billion Muslims and all followers of the divine religions, Salman Rushdie has exposed himself to the anger and rage of the people."

Whether you prefer quick and fast or slow and easy, Zhuang's Tai Chi and Kung Fu Academy has you covered. Like a flowing river, the ancient Chinese martial art tai chi consists of slow movements empowered by a continuous flux of strategic grace. Tai chi Master Yajun Zhuang describes the rhythmic art as "slow, agile and harmonious." He teaches two internal styles of Chinese martial arts, qigong and tai chi, at his studio, where "chi" is the driving force of it all. In contrast, kung fu is "strong, hard and fast," he said. Despite its intensity, it requires chi, too. "You should use your mind to mobilize your chi. Then, use your chi to mobilize the body," Zhuang reminds his students during sessions. Chi translates to "breath." It is used to describe the vital energy of life that flows through all things. Chi exists in every martial art movement. The key to tai chi is to take things slow, which is opposite of the way kung fu is seen in movies, Zhuang said. "People don't … [Read more...] about Master or expert, you still practice: Louisiana martial arts expert teaches tai chi and kung fu

Soutik Biswas Published 29 March Share close Share page Copy link About sharing In the early hours of 24 March, Filippo Osella flew into India's southern city of Trivandrum from London on a routine research trip to India. Prof Osella, an anthropologist at the University of Sussex, had been visiting India on work for more than 30 years. The South Asian specialist had spent much of that time in the state of Kerala, of which Trivandrum is the capital. This time Prof Osella was to mainly attend a two-day meeting on the seafaring communities of the state. He and local meteorological scientists had been developing early warning weather forecasts to secure the lives of millions of fishermen. But this time a rude shock awaited him.

There, officials took his photograph and fingerprints and told him that … [Read more...] about Filippo Osella: The UK academic who was deported from Kerala
